[QUOTE="Eddie Chandler, post: 42931, member: 2032"] My great grandfather was a Chindit in the 2nd Leicesters, I too have been researching him after recently finding out that he was awarded a DCM for his actions in March/April 1944. I have, after a bit of effort managed to find out quite a bit about his time out there and even managed to trace relatives of the soldiers who were with him at the time. (Search for Thomas Chandler on this website and you can read a bit of the story with regards to his award).If your grandfather was involved in Operation Longcloth you will find that Steve who has replied to your query previously should be able to help you out if you have any questions. (I hope you dont mind me saying that Steve). :)). Please add any information that you have I would like to know more about your grandfather. [/QUOTE]
